> But management and the people in charge of OK'ing these designs have a 'make-it-happen' attitude and nobody really cares about semantic, native feel when they've invested so much into a "design system" that is largely antithetical to that.

It feels like at some point you'll just have to start telling them that their ideas will result in technically bad solutions and be ready to look for a new job.

Clearly that's not a good idea for everyone, but if unions could form and fight back against unfair treatment of workers, why don't developers have similar organizations to fight against privacy breaches, unethical development or business practices, or even just unreasonable design demands that are not standards compliant or accessible?

To expand upon that: if doctors refuse to harm people, why do developers harm websites and other pieces of software so readily just because they're told to?
